King of Capital

Arrange workstations, distribute computers and other office supplies, and fill out application materials to apply for intern privileges for the company's intranet account.

The lunch break passed just like that. In the first pre-job training class on the fourth floor in the afternoon, Zou Jingyi heard the complete and detailed version of the group's organizational structure and work compliance principles from the executive director Daisy.

“1%, 1%, 1%.”

At the end of the course, Daisy wrote in capital letters with a marker: "The top 1% of people in this society will invest in the top 1% of startups in the world, forming the top 1% of venture capital institutions in this industry."

"This is what makes Grapefruit different, so from today on, you can make mistakes and fail, but you cannot accept irresponsible dereliction of duty."

She concluded solemnly: "Always think of yourself as one of the 1%, not the 99%."

Some classmates were applauding. Zou Jingyi looked over and saw that the other person's face was full of excitement. She raised her arm and clapped her hands without taking it seriously.

The top institutions on Wall Street all have this concept, and every employee thinks he or she is a child of destiny. After all, everyone has been in the 1% of the environment since childhood, and they are used to it and cannot really taste the flavor of this bowl of chicken soup.

The training ended at 5:30, just in time to get off work. It was still early, so the interns clocked in and went home in a relaxed state. Some students, whether out of the novelty or their natural tendency to be competitive, formed groups and discussed going to sit at their workstations for a while.

Seeing Liao Yan and Zhang Youzhou leave first because of their own opinions, Zou Jingyi hesitated for a moment and stayed until the end.

"Didn't you find a place to live?" Daisy said as she put her teaching equipment in order.

Another male classmate who hadn't left yet said with a suitcase in his hand: "Yes, I just arrived in Shanghai last night, let's change to a hotel closer to the company first."

"Hey, there's been too much going on lately, please wait a moment."

Daisy picked up her phone and sent a message while continuing, "There's a Ritz-Carlton next to the IFC. It's about a 20-minute walk from the company. You can stay there and the company will reimburse you."

"Then you two can inform everyone. Anyone who needs to stay in a hotel can go ahead and register with me tomorrow. Is that ok?" She gave the order without any hesitation.

The male student hesitated and felt awkward for a moment, then nodded to indicate that it was okay.
Zou Jingyi blinked her bright eyes calmly and asked softly, "Boss Daisy, what room type do you require?"

"This Ritz is the company's contracted hotel. I've made arrangements. You can go directly to the front desk with your work badge to check in. You don't have to pay any money or a deposit. You can stay here until the end of your pre-job training. Half a month is enough time to find an apartment, right?" Daisy explained in detail.

The male classmate immediately responded: "I have already arranged with the agent to view the house tonight, it will take a few days!"

"Any question?"

Daisy confirmed again that there was no problem, left a message saying "remember to turn off the lights", and left in a hurry.

Ms. Xie will start the fundraising plan when she returns at the end of the month. She is very busy managing a family of more than 60 people and has no time to be a babysitter for the children.

"Then let's send a notification to the WeChat group, and if anyone doesn't reply, we can send a private message individually?" The male student took the randomly triggered Easter egg task seriously.

Zou Jingyi suggested, "Let's send an email through the company intranet and copy Daisy to facilitate the approval process."

"Okay, then you edit the email and I'll send a notification to the WeChat group." The male classmate kindly gave up the opportunity to perform.

The basic room type at Ji Lisi is currently being recruited for 2,000 yuan per night. I have to pay out of my own pocket and wait for reimbursement later, which is very stressful, but I am not brave enough to ask for clarification.

He had been planning to just use his credit card to get by for a few days, but luckily the prettiest of the interns was meticulous and indirectly helped him out.

Zou Jingyi pretended to be unaware of the situation, thanked them generously and accepted the assignment, then returned to her workstation to write an email to inform all the interns.

Wanting to show off is one thing, and secondly Director Daisy is a little casual.

What does it mean that if you need to, you can just take your work badge and go to live there? There is no review mechanism at all in the entire administrative process and it is all based on self-consciousness. How can there be such a makeshift team?

Use work emails as records in advance. If the finance department later argues with the administration department and refuses to reimburse the expenses, it has nothing to do with her.

Zou Jingyi finished sending the email and received a reply. She stretched and was about to punch out when a news link popped up in the intern WeChat group.

[On the afternoon of March 3, Jilin Province Jichun Bank Co., Ltd. (referred to as "Jichun Bank") was approved by the China Banking Regulatory Commission and was officially established in Jingyue City, Jilin Province. This is also the first private bank approved for establishment in Northeast China.

It is understood that Jichun Bank expects to obtain approval for opening in the second quarter of this year.

The bank is registered in Jingyue City, with a registered capital of 27 billion yuan. The main sponsors are Jingxing Investment Group Management Co., Ltd. and Jilin Province Yunshan Agriculture and Animal Husbandry Holding Co., Ltd.

The news article had few words and simple pictures. Several bigwigs tore off the red silk cloth of the company's brand together, and their identities and names were marked below: Xie Jingxing, chairman of the board of directors of Jichun Bank, Li Renyu, president, and major local leaders.

[The country's first private bank controlled by a financial company, another important business segment of the group (thumbs-up emoji), feeling good and ready to take off! ]

[I just saw on Weibo that Shaoshuai was not on the hot search list. President Daisy didn’t mention the group structure when she talked about it this afternoon. What is the composition of this bank? ]

[Young Master holds 30% of the shares, Old Master holds 19%, New Da'e holds 19%, and Taihe holds 6.9%. What could it be? They simply don't want to be tied to the group brand and seek independent development.]

[The capital operation center is located in Shanghai, and we bought an office building near the river in Beitan...]

[Absolutely, I immediately want to apply for a transfer to the Qingyou team for an internship. I took the group's self-operated business employees for a physical examination. The veins are full of money and there is not a drop of blood. Purebred tall, rich and handsome! ! ! ]

The group chat messages were filled with envy, complaints, pride, and witty jokes about who was going to take advantage of the luxury hotel benefits.

Zou Jingyi stared at the computer screen silently, a question popping up in her mind - what kind of group is this?
The senior executives and big bosses exuded a greasy and gangster-like air while chatting at the dinner table; the executive director in the training classroom poured out chicken soup with arrogance; the sloppy and unruly administrative work processes, and the unexpected business advancement that created history.

Maybe she is really more suitable to join Qingyou.

Only by getting closer to the young leader and personally experiencing the birth of strategic decisions that influence the industry can one understand the unique and bizarre soul of this group.

"Why haven't you gone home yet?" The male colleague with thinning hair and deep eye bags appeared silently like a ghost.

Zou Jingyi came to her senses and quickly closed the group chat interface: "I'm leaving now."

"Can you sing?"

"Uh, so-so. I can dance and play the piano."

"Can you help me play a piece? There's a piano in the lobby downstairs. I'll record a video and treat you to dinner tonight. I'm doing due diligence on the project." The man with bags under his eyes forced a sincere and kind smile.

"..."

Zou Jingyi just responded with a polite smile.

"Sorry, you should get off work. Pick it up."

The man with bags under his eyes raised his finger and pointed, then turned around and stuck his butt out to open the package.

Zou Jingyi looked down and saw the work badge hanging on her chest, her face turned red, but she tried to hold back but couldn't muster up the courage to give up this job opportunity.

I stared at the twisting butt in front of me for a few seconds, silently took off my work badge, turned off my computer, picked up my commuter bag, and went home after get off work. When I walked out of the office, my nose was uncontrollably sour.

"You fell from the sky and landed on my horse's back!"

A hoarse voice suddenly rang out, and Zou Jingyi subconsciously turned around to look at the source of the sound, only to see the man with bags under his eyes holding a microphone and singing loudly. "Your face is like jade, your eyes are like clear water, and your slight smile makes my heart warm. You don't even look back, and you spread your wings."

He was extremely intoxicated and followed the accompaniment with his eyes closed, raising his hand to hold his chest from time to time to show that his heart was burning.

Zou Jingyi opened her mouth in disbelief, and she actually forgot about her grievance and was so scared that she tightly grasped her phone and quickly rushed to the elevator and went downstairs.

"Looking for the direction ahead, a sigh makes my life cold, you are feeling the boundless glory in the center of thousands of people..."

I ran out of the office building, and the man with bags under his eyes did not chase me. My singing became more and more passionate and floated out of the window.

Zou Jingyi was shaking all over and wanted to complain to Director Daisy several times, but she couldn't say anything until she got home and her mother smiled and asked about her first day of internship.

…………

The next morning, I woke up from the soft big bed and smelled the faint aroma of food. It was a brand new day.

Zou Jingyi clenched her fists and waved her slender arms towards the ceiling. She recovered and washed up, had breakfast, and carefully put on her work badge before going out to work.

I checked on the official website of Xiyou last night. The man with bags under his eyes is just a VP of the entertainment department and only joined the company half a year ago.

Read the error-free version at 69shuba! 6=9+shu_ba is the first to publish this novel.

I have passed the strict interview of the big boss and joined the company as an intern. So I am qualified to wear an ID card. Why are you not allowing me?
Zou Jingyi changed her clothes and tied her long, smooth hair into a high ponytail. She wore seven-centimeter high heels, held her head high and chest high, pushed the door open, got out of the car, waved goodbye to her mother, and walked towards the company with great momentum.

"Hello, Boss! I have a very good business idea that I must introduce to you. This project will pay for itself in half a year, make over 100 million yuan in profit in two years, and go public in five years."

A middle-aged man rushed out from the roadside with a folder in his arms, blocked my way without saying anything, and introduced himself very quickly.

Zou Jingyi couldn't help but take two steps back and politely explained: "Hello, I'm an intern and can't look at the project."

"It's okay, it's okay. Look, you're wearing your work badge. You're Xiyou's investment manager! Just listen to me talk about the project first. When you become a regular employee, this will be your first achievement!"

The middle-aged man recognized the words on his work badge from a close distance, switched his address and insisted, "Investment is a job that focuses on the future. My new energy project hits the big trend of the future!"

"How about I introduce you to our official investment manager?"

Seeing his confident look, Zou Jingyi softened her tone and offered a solution.

"No problem! I've met several of your bosses. They are all too impatient. Can you talk to them for me? Let's add a contact first..."

The middle-aged man swiftly took out his cell phone, and halfway through his words, two security guards came over from the company gate with explosion-proof dung forks swaying over their shoulders.

"What's wrong with you?"

"Look at the project. She agreed to look at my project. Really, she volunteered and I didn't harass her."

"Boss, if you have time, please take a look at my project. Beautiful girl, please remember to take a look. We have an agreement. I will wait for you to become a regular employee. Even if it doesn't work out, please give me some advice and suggestions as a favor to encourage entrepreneurs to have the courage to continue. Thank you!"

Zou Jingyi watched the middle-aged man go from being confident to embarrassed. As he was forcibly pushed away by the security guard, he stretched out his arms, forced out a flattering smile, and struggled to hand over the folder.

The determined look in her embarrassed eyes was hard to avoid, and she took the folder that was neither light nor heavy and had body temperature.

"Didn't your instructor tell you that front desk staff shouldn't bring their ID cards outside the company?"

The middle-aged man disappeared around the corner of the alley, and the two security guards came back humming in dissatisfaction.

All the regular employees in my group were on business trips and had not yet been assigned a teaching teacher. I thought the man with bags under his eyes was trying to humiliate me after failing to strike up a conversation with me. I didn’t know that there was an entrepreneur blocking the door.

Three types of answers lingered in her mind. Zou Jingyi pursed her red lips and said, "I won't do that again."

"If you encounter such a psychopath in the future, stay away from him. It will be hard not to be recognized when you put your work photos on the official website. Your work ID card is nothing."

One of the security guards kindly advised and asked for the folder: "Give it to me."

“I want to learn new energy-related technologies.”

Out of compassion, even though she knew that the business plan might be bad, Zou Jingyi still remembered the fanatical look in the middle-aged man's eyes.

The security guard was stunned, then sneered: "Go to the remote countryside and rent the roof of a farmer's house for a few hundred yuan to install solar panels, and then use the farmer's account to defraud loans and subsidies for new energy power generation and rural revitalization policies. What techniques are there to learn from Ponzi schemes?"

"...Then why does he dare to come and promote the business plan?" Zou Jingyi was shocked and confused.

"The phone bill discount is slow charging. Users pay 80 yuan and receive 100 yuan in three days. The time difference is used to deposit the cash pool for overnight leverage and inter-financial institution borrowing to earn a steady profit."

The security guard gave his own answer: "In fact, the user's money is transferred to overseas casinos, live broadcasts, games, and hedges to be cleaned up and then returned to China, with a cost loss of only 20%."

"It looks like he has connections and business, a mature business model and good operating data, but he specializes in defrauding investors who don't understand much."

Zou Jingyi remained silent, trying her best to digest the bizarre and tortuous amount of information.

"Girl, do you see what's written on this sign? Grapefruit Capital." Another old man tapped the nameplate hanging on the door with an explosion-proof dung fork.

"Simple and crude, stupid, beautifully packaged, cleverly deceptive, and those genuinely crazy founders who pop up every now and then, whether they cry and beg shamelessly or are fanatically persistent and idealistic, the root cause is to get the money from this brand."

The old man sighed, slowed down his tone and said helplessly: "As long as Xiyou invests, there will be fools who dare to poke their eyes out and blindly follow suit. You look at his business plan today, ask you for advice tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow turn around and shout everywhere that Xiyou is following up on my project."

You can make mistakes and fail, but you cannot accept irresponsible dereliction of duty.

The conclusion of yesterday’s training class is still ringing in my ears. It turns out that the so-called 1% are not those who consider themselves to be the chosen ones, but those who want the 99% to follow them.

Zou Jingyi looked up at the nameplate.

"Give it to me, and the administrative department will handle it. Otherwise, in a few days this psychopath will not be done with it and will come to the door with banners to protest that Xiyou stole his business model."

The security guard took the folder away and added a reminder: "During the stock market crash last year, there were crazy people who were so angry that they followed female employees in the middle of the night. You are in the financial industry and deal with human nature. You must be careful not to be too kind."

"If there are founders who truly think that their entrepreneurial projects are good, will you encourage them?" Zou Jingyi asked softly.

"Hey, good fellow! You're kicking people into the fire pit. It's a great mercy if they die early and are reborn."

The security guard laughed and pondered, "What did your CEO Xie say? Investors can't save all the misfortunes they encounter. They can only move forward with a future they can't see."

There are always young newcomers entering the industry, and this group is particularly immature.

If the professional knowledge in the textbooks cannot solve people's hearts, then the gangster spirit is not bad either.

Zou Jingyi smiled brightly and tilted her head: "Thank you, sir!"

The two security guards shuddered and almost fell to the ground. The girl laughed, really, hey!
Legs are numb. (End of this chapter)
